Abstract:Composite aerogels are low-density porous material with a high surface area, facilitating their application in wastewater treatment. The surface of these aerogels can be modified based on the ionic charge of the target pollutants. Improved properties like high gas holdup, a low mean free path of diffusion, high mechanical strength, and integrated 3D gel architecture make them an ideal matrix for several environmental applications. This review focuses on carbon, silica, metal-based, and biopolymer composite aer… Show more
